A symbolic integration combined with the smoothing technique is implemented to calculate the smoothed finite element matrices, which is integrated along the boundaries of each smoothing cell. Numerical results show that the proposed element is free from shear locking, and its results are in good agreement with the exact solutions, even for very thin plates with extremely distorted elements. The proposed element gives more accurate results than the original DSG element without smoothing, and it can be taken as an alternative element for analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates. The prominent feature of the present element is that the integration scheme is unified in the smoothed form for all of the finite element matrices.展开更多

The breaking wave is powerfulagents for generating turbulence, which plays an important role in most of the fluid dynamicalprocesses in the surf zone, so a proper numerical model for describing the turbulent effect isneeded urgently. A numerical model is set up to simulate the wave breaking process, which consistsof a free surface model using the surface marker method and the vertical two-dimensional model thatsolves the flow equations. The turbulence is described by Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method wherethe larger turbulent features are simulated by solving the flow equations, and the small-scaleturbulence that is represented by a sub-grid model. A dynamic eddy viscosity sub-grid scale stressmodel has been used for the present simulation. The large eddy simulation model, which we presentedin this paper, can be used to study the propagation of a solitary wave in constant water depth andthe shoaling of a non-breaking solitary wave on a beach. To track free-surface movements, The TUMMACmethod is employed. By applying the model to wave breaking problem in the surf zone, we found thatthese model results compared very well with experimental data. In addition, this model is able toreproduce the complicated flow phenomena, especially the plunging breaker.展开更多
